Buy recommendations Best “do it all” rifle

I’m looking for advice on the best rifle for doing a bit of everything. The main use I’m looking for is coyote and deer hunting as well as a lot of target shooting.

I totally understand everyone is going to have a different opinion on cartridge but I’d love to hear what everyone thinks for my situation.

I currently own sks and a 10/22.

Let me know your thoughts! TIA

That's a fair way to look at it!

Honestly, cheap 6.5 isn't much more then cheap 308. Sure the Chinese Surplus is a bit cheaper,  but any commercial 308 is almost the same price as 6.5 creedmoor
